"Forests for the Future" is a project of vital importance, great motivation, and necessary action. Humanity is investing heavily in technology to collect water, capture carbon emissions, pollinate, and prevent fires... when there is a very simple solution: planting trees and restoring biodiverse forests, especially in peri-urban areas, which serve as the lungs of cities. As of today, the amount of forest we use is infinitely greater than the amount we plant. Additionally, the management of existing plantations is unsustainable in the long term, acidifying and eroding the soil, increasing desertification, and severely impacting ecosystems. Native forests are shrinking, and those that are not monocultures of eucalyptus or pine are abandoned and overrun by invasive species. This is a severe global crisis, yet most young people remain unaware of the magnitude of the problem. For this reason, two groups of young people from different regions have come together to take action in regenerating our territories, both near and within cities. We aim to raise awareness among more young people about this issue and its solutions, demonstrating that change is indeed possible. Forests for the Future is a transnational youth mobility project between different Euroregions of Spain and Portugal. Through Youth Work, we must create spaces that address the environmental and climate issues of each region, empowering participants and providing them with tools to transition towards local solutions with a global impact. This project includes an immersive and reflective exchange where participants can learn more about forest management and community development through a sustainable and inclusive approach. Our goals are part of a larger, ambitious regenerative project with a significant impact on the community in the short term but, more importantly, in the long term—because without forests and without future generations, there is no future. For the past five years, we have been working on a plot of land adjacent to Ecolectivo, which belongs to the Mancomunidad de Montes de Castrelos. They entrusted our association with voluntarily transforming a landscape that was entirely invaded by black wattle (Acacia mearnsii) and, using regenerative techniques, turning it into a food forest, a biodiverse forest, a thriving native forest. We aspire to be an example of good practices and to use this initiative, along with the interactive learning space in Ecolectivo’s natural environment, to create a space for intercultural exchange. This will serve as a place for reforesting a mountain while learning to live sustainably, balancing individual and collective needs, fostering active participation, promoting a culture of peace, and embracing diversity through non-formal education. At the same time, we want to extend this initiative to the local community by organizing an open event to share the project’s outcomes with as many stakeholders as possible—local youth groups, media, neighbors, institutions, and more. Objectives: 1. Create an exchange program where participants experience the full process of landscape transformation—first through design and then through reforestation—by collectively restoring a damaged area overrun by black wattle into a productive food forest for the future. 2. Strengthen alliances between young people from Euroregions of Spain and Portugal to combat desertification, biodiversity loss, and wildfire prevention in these areas (as these regions share resources, firefighters, emergency services, etc.). 3. Establish a diverse, inclusive co-learning and co-living space with an intersectional perspective. 4. Promote the ethics and principles of Permaculture. 5. Encourage consensus, intercultural dialogue, and active participation within a framework of a Culture of Peace. 6. Promote healthy lifestyles among participants. 7. Empower participants to become active agents of change in their communities and/or improve their employability in the green sector. 8. Raise awareness about the Mancomunidades de Montes as a form of community-based resource management and highlight the need for generational renewal. 9. Showcase the example of good practices we are implementing to the media, local organizations, and administrations through the Erasmus+ program.
